Merge tag 'net-next-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
poll
- AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
adjacency cache prefetcher
- af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K
- tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
messages
- XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames
- sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack
- net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs
BPF:
- BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting
- BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
enhancements
- BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM
- allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use
bpf_sk_storage
Protocols:
- mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and
many smaller improvements
- TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher
- seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4/DT6 behavior
- sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP
- ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly
- bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined
in IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.
Drivers:
- mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver
internals
- mlx5: more accurate port TX timestamping support
- mlxsw:
- improve the efficiency of offloaded next hop updates by using
the new nexthop object API
- support blackhole nexthops
- support IEEE 802.1ad (Q-in-Q) bridging
- rtw88: major bluetooth co-existance improvements
- iwlwifi: support new 6 GHz frequency band
- ath11k: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS)
- mt7915: dual band concurrent (DBDC) support
- net: ipa: add basic support for IPA v4.5
Refactor:
- a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej
Siewior
- phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver
APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
allows shared IRQs
- add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters
- move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a
central place
- improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy
- number of W=1 warning cleanups as we now catch those in a patchwork
build bot
Old code removal:
- wan: delete the DLCI / SDLA drivers
- wimax: move to staging
- wifi: remove old WDS wifi bridging support"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -================ -Frame Relay (FR) -================ - -Frame Relay (FR) support for linux is built into a two tiered system of device -drivers. The upper layer implements RFC1490 FR specification, and uses the -Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) as its hardware address. Usually these -are assigned by your network supplier, they give you the number/numbers of -the Virtual Connections (VC) assigned to you. - -Each DLCI is a point-to-point link between your machine and a remote one. -As such, a separate device is needed to accommodate the routing. Within the -net-tools archives is 'dlcicfg'. This program will communicate with the -base "DLCI" device, and create new net devices named 'dlci00', 'dlci01'... -The configuration script will ask you how many DLCIs you need, as well as -how many DLCIs you want to assign to each Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD). - -The DLCI uses a number of function calls to communicate with the FRAD, all -of which are stored in the FRAD's private data area. assoc/deassoc, -activate/deactivate and dlci_config. The DLCI supplies a receive function -to the FRAD to accept incoming packets. - -With this initial offering, only 1 FRAD driver is available. With many thanks -to Sangoma Technologies, David Mandelstam & Gene Kozin, the S502A, S502E & -S508 are supported. This driver is currently set up for only FR, but as -Sangoma makes more firmware modules available, it can be updated to provide -them as well. - -Configuration of the FRAD makes use of another net-tools program, 'fradcfg'. -This program makes use of a configuration file (which dlcicfg can also read) -to specify the types of boards to be configured as FRADs, as well as perform -any board specific configuration. The Sangoma module of fradcfg loads the -FR firmware into the card, sets the irq/port/memory information, and provides -an initial configuration. - -Additional FRAD device drivers can be added as hardware is available. - -At this time, the dlcicfg and fradcfg programs have not been incorporated into -the net-tools distribution. They can be found at ftp.invlogic.com, in -/pub/linux. Note that with OS/2 FTPD, you end up in /pub by default, so just -use 'cd linux'. v0.10 is for use on pre-2.0.3 and earlier, v0.15 is for -pre-2.0.4 and later. |
